Virta Health offers a proven, nutrition-based, technology-enabled approach to reversing type 2 diabetes and helping those with prediabetes or a BMI of 25 or greater to lose weight and keep the weight off.

Does it Really Work?

Hear from your fellow Seagate colleagues about how Virta has helped them achieve their goals.

Betsy Cameron, Colorado

“Virta truly worked for me — down 30 pounds so far, off blood pressure medication, and my blood sugar is in great shape. Having had gestational diabetes twice, I know I was at risk for diabetes and I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made.”

Richard Gee, Colorado

“Virta was truly life-changing for my wife and me — through diet alone, I lost 100 pounds in a year. I reversed diabetes and reduced blood pressure medication. My mind, body and outlook on life are completely changed.” 

Annette Madrid, Colorado

“Virta has helped me create lasting, realistic changes that truly fit into my life. What surprised me most was how those changes extended beyond me — my husband also lost weight simply because we were making healthier choices together.”

Brandon Purcel, Minnesota

“The Virta program has transformed my life. I have more energy throughout the day tackling challenges professionally and I feel more present and engaged in my personal life.”

David Rice, California

“Virta has been a really positive experience for me. I won’t lie —the first week was the hardest as I said goodbye to carbs. But Virta showed me that you can lose weight without feeling hungry. Totally worth it.”

Joyce Todd-Guerra, Arizona

“Virta has been a total game changer for me — I’ve lost 50 pounds, my numbers and energy are better than ever, and the program is easy to follow with fantastic support. I encourage anyone looking to make a real change to try Virta — you won’t regret it!”

What is Virta Health?

Virta Health is a virtual clinic that uses food as medicine and technology to help patients naturally lose weight, lower A1C, and reduce reliance on medications. As a Virta member you’ll receive:

  • Personalized nutrition – Tailored nutrition plans to help you identify what food your body needs more of, and less of, to naturally burn fat and gain energy.
  • Continuous support – A support system that includes a licensed medical provider, a dedicated health coach, biomarker tracking tools and patient community.
  • No-cost tools – A connected meter, scale, and testing supplies free of charge. You will also have access to the user-friendly Virta app, and an online community.

No more pumps, pills or syringes. Virta uses individualized nutrition therapy to control your blood sugar without medication, or to help you lose weight even if you don't have diabetes.
